According to Salvamont Argeș, the seven tourists intended to stay overnight in the Iezer refuge, but they were not properly equipped for the mountain. The seven were surprised by the bad weather and, not being properly equipped, decided to call 112 and ask for help.

“Action in progress. Group of seven people who intended to stay overnight in the Yezer refuge, were caught by the hail and have no change of clothes, two of the women are in a slight hypothermia, while a man has a sprained ankle. The duty patrol from the Voina base operates.

We draw attention to the fact that the situations in which tourists climb the mountain completely unprepared physically, technically and above all unequipped have increased! If you intend to climb the mountain trails (still closed at high altitudes due to snow!) you can contact us 24/7 at the Salvamont National Dispatch for information by dialing 0salvamont on your mobile phone keyboard,” announced Salvamont Argeș.
